In a written statement, The Free Women's Movement (TJA) said there is not one day going by in which “women are not massacred, harassed and raped, their rights are not violated, their achievements are not seized, their labor is not exploited, they are not detained”.

The statement continued: “It should be well known that our idea of ​​freedom is stronger than the weapons of the AKP-MHP fascist mentality”.

TJA added that the male-dominated state is dreaming of getting women back by launching new detention operations every day passing. “But - said the statement - your dream will never happen. You should know that our words is stronger than your weapons”.

TJA asked for the immediate release of the detainees said and call “on all democratic, institutions, organizations, especially women’s ones, to step up their initiatives and the democratic struggle”.

In the past few weeks the Erdoğan regime has recently launched a new repression campaign against Kurds. More than 300 people have been detained in 20 cities in the last five days as the result of operations targeting HDP and DBP.

Among the detained people are journalists, writers, workers, peasants, academics and civil society activists.
